RUN

An after dark joyride drives a small town fish worker to risk everything.

For 30-something Finnie, the daily grind of working in a fish factory and providing for his family has numbed him to the point where he can no longer be emotionally available to his wife and kids. Having taken on too much responsibility too soon, the pain of remembering himself as an arrogant, carefree teen who spent his nights racing cars through the streets is just too great. He borrows his son Kid’s car for an after dark joyride, one that might lead to a new understanding of himself — or might cost him everything.

In 2019 barry crerar produced RUN writer/director Scott Graham. Inspired by the music of Bruce Springsteen, we sought to create a story of forgotten dreams and broken hearts against the backdrop of a lost seaside town. RUN premiered in competition at Tribeca Film Festival 2019 and has its European Premiere at BFI London Film Festival 2019. The film was made in co-production with Margaret Matheson’s bard entertainments, funded by the BFI, BBC Films and Screen Scotland, sold internationally by Film Constellation and distributed in the UK by Verve Pictures.
